ANDREA BOCELLI CELEBRATES A DECADE OF BEST-SELLING RECORDINGS WITH HIS FIRST-
EVER GREATEST HITS COLLECTION, THE BEST OF ANDREA BOCELLI – VIVERE CD IN-
STORES OCTOBER 30TH ON SUGAR MUSIC/DECCA September 11, 2007 – (New York, NY)
— For the first time during his historic career the world’s best selling
tenor, Andrea Bocelli, will be releasing a collection of his greatest hits.
The Best Of Andrea Bocelli – Vivere, will be released on Sugar Music/Decca on
October 30th, marking a decade of chart-topping albums that have made him a
household name and beloved cultural figure the world over. The Best Of Andrea
Bocelli – Vivere will feature selections from Bocelli’s wildly popular
recordings including Romanza, certified 4 times platinum, Sogno certified 2
times platinum, and his most recent platinum disc, Amore. Highlights include
“Time To Say Goodbye” his breakthrough smash with Sarah Brightman, “The
Prayer,” another duet made famous with Celine Dion, and the more recent
Bocelli staples “Because We Believe” and “Besame Mucho” among others. Several
new tracks are also exclusively available on Vivere, including new
compositions by the renowned and accomplished David Foster, who also holds
producing credits on the songs and was one of the creative forces behind
Amore. Other notable guests on the disc include the acclaimed classical
pianist Lang Lang and Latin singing sensation Laura Pausini. 2007 is already
shaping up to be another banner year for Bocelli. In July, the superstar
staged his first-ever, pop only, live concert set in the stunning hills of
Tuscany, which will be broadcast on PBS this December. Andrea continues to be
one of PBS’ most visible artists, with this being the follow-up to the Emmy-
nominated “Under The Desert Sky” special which aired in 2006. Bocelli also
appears on the forthcoming new album from Chris Botti, Italia, to be released
in September. This fall, Andrea returns to the U.S. for another round of high-
profile promotional appearances, as well as several concerts in support of the
greatest hits collection – dates to be announced soon. Vivere, meaning “to
live,” is certainly something Andrea Bocelli does to his fullest. Having sold
over 55 million albums worldwide, he continues to display a singularly unique
ability to straddle both pop and classical repertoire with sincerity,
conviction, grace and his unmistakable soaring tenor. One of the most sought
after performers in the world, he has recorded duets with the biggest names in
music including Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Katharine McPhee, Kenny G
and the aforementioned Brightman, Botti and Dion. Andrea also recently sang at
the funeral service for one of his true heroes, Luciano Pavarotti, where he
paid tribute to the great tenor with Mozart’s “Ave Verum Corpus.” A media
darling who has appeared everywhere from American Idol to the Today Show
multiple times, he has been called “one of opera’s most successful crossover
stars” by The Wall Street Journal.
